Abstract:
Combustion ion chromatography (CIC) can measure trace halogens and sulfur (as sulfate) in non-water soluble solids and semi-solids such as organic solvents, plastics, polymers, and petroleum liquids. In liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) these components need to be quantified for transport, product specifications, possible corrosion sources, and to determine scrubber capacity for maintenance. This presentation describes the determination of total fluorine, chlorine, sulfate, and bromine in LPG using an automated approach to combustion sample preparation in combination with ion chromatography to deliver results with excellent accuracy and reproducibility, while eliminating the tedium of manual combustion methods.
